In this episode, we chat to Karyn Hicks, from Salvation Army, about managing money!
Here’re some of the resources she mentioned:
- Affordable SA – a great website with all things affordable (including free food, housing and support services!)
- Money Smart – a government website with lots of interesting information and guide to navigating money and finances
- Click here for information about free energy audits
- This page has some energy-saving tips
- We like this guide to budgeting apps (and this website generally)
- The You’re the Boss program can help you get a handle on money
- Centrepay takes your bills straight out of your Centrlink payment
- If you want Centrelink to review a decision, this is the form you need.
Big thanks to Karyn Hicks for giving us all her tips and tricks!

This podcast was created on Kaurna and Peramangk Country. We wish to acknowledge the Kaurna and Peramangk peoples and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, their spiritual, physical, emotional, mental and economic connection to the Land and Seas. We acknowledge the original custodians of Australia and, in doing so, understand that their inherent Cultural and Spiritual beliefs continue to sustain the living People of each region.
